Compiling VirtualBox with error “makeself not found!"

SUSE Product Topics SLES Configure-Administer

I compiled VirtualBox with error makeself (variable makeself) not found! on SLES15.1.
The value of $MAKESELF was makeself, which was already initiated, and below lines were already added into global user profile.

alias makeself='/opt/makeself-2.4.0/makeself.sh' export MAKESELF=/opt/makeself-2.4.0/ export PATH=$PATH:JAVA_HOME/bin:/opt/makeself-2.4.0/

And verified with below.

[CODE]james> which makeself
which: no makeself in (/home/james/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:JAVA_HOME/bin:/opt/makeself-2.4.0/)

james> which makeself.sh
/usr/bin/makeself.sh

james> whereis makeself
makeself: /usr/bin/makeself.sh /opt/makeself-2.4.0/makeself.1 /opt/makeself-2.4.0/makeself.lsm /opt/makeself-2.4.0/makeself.sh

james> makeself
Usage: /opt/makeself-2.4.0/makeself.sh [params] archive_dir file_name label startup_script [args]
…[/CODE]

I am confused on how to let check_avail() return true and pass the IF check in check_makeself(). $MAKESELF is there and command makeself is also there. Please advise and thanks in advance.

[CODE] check_makeself()
{
test_header “makeself”
if check_avail “$MAKESELF” makeself; then
makeself_ver=$MAKESELF --version|grep version|sed 's+^Makeself.*version \\([0-9\\.]*\\).*+\\1+'
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
log_failure “makeself not working”
fail
else
log_success “found version $makeself_ver”
cnf_append “VBOX_MAKESELF” “which_wrapper $MAKESELF”
fi
fi
}

test_header()
{
  echo "***** Checking $1 *****" >> $LOG
  $ECHO_N "Checking for $1: "
}

check_avail()
{
   if [ -z "$1" ]; then
     log_failure "$2 is empty"
     fail $3
     return 1
   elif which_wrapper $1 > /dev/null; then
     return 0
   else
     log_failure "$1 (variable $2) not found"
     fail $3
     return 1
   fi
}
